Optimization of alginate alkaline extraction technology from Sargassum latifolium and its potential antioxidant and emulsifying properties.
Carbohydrate Polymers 2017 Februrary 11
Alginate was recovered from Sargassum latifolium biomass using different conditions of alkali treatment. Box-Behnken experimental design was evaluated to study the influence of alkali:alga ratio, temperature and time on alginate yield, and its molecular weight (MW) and mannuronic/guluronic acid ratio (M/G). The second-order polynomial equations were analyzed by appropriate statistical methods. Extraction temperature and time were the most important factors during alginate alkaline extraction. MW and M/G ratio played an important role in controlling the reducing power of alginate. Increasing pH of the alginate solutions enhanced its reducing capacity, while thermal treatment showed a negative effect. Additionally, alginate exhibited good emulsion stabilizing capacities with diverse hydrophobic compounds. Emulsifying activity was less sensitive to temperature, ionic strength and more stable at acidic pH.
